Into Merged Reality, An Alternative Fantasy

Lumi Gallery is delighted to invite you to “Into Merged Reality, An Alternative Fantasy,” an online solo exhibition that unveils the mesmerizing world of Irfan Ajvazi, a promising visual artist blossoming in the heart of New York. This exhibition serves as a gateway to a realm where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, offering a glimpse into a transformative artistic journey that harmonizes the soft textures of knitwear with the solidity of modern structures. Join us in witnessing a fresh perspective on art, where imagination meets material, crafting a narrative that is as intricate as it is beautiful.

Exploring unconventional knitting structures and redefining the interaction between normative soft ‘fiber’ and solid materials, I use techniques investigating three-dimensional knitting structures with extreme sheer and soft textures, creating dramatic abstract forms and soft volumes.

The theme and core notion of my artistic creation comes from the merging of my own dreaming and imagination illusions from fragments of memories, combined with reality. Investigating the transformable “knitwear” and “closet”, I convey the idea of the engagement between individuals and the intimate domestic area. I create infinite possibilities of structural explorations of soft sculptural forms, exploring the multiple dimensions through unique knitting formations with solid constructions.
